I have not finished the preview for miui. I should have something done for the next major release.
[Android Themes] ehoba:
I will look into the problem you are describing. If you could give me some more details on how you create this error it will help me fix it faster. As for setting the path. If you have included the path to the folder idiot is installed in to your system path you will need to logout and login to get the path to take affect.

This looks great! Can't wait to get back on phidelts ec10 and flash this!
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
Will this run on EC10 Hybrid rom?
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
no...have to be on PnP
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
If possible could you upload screenshots of your themes? It would help.

Also if you could port lucid up to ec10 and fix the blackonblack menu text in it that would be awesome because it's pretty much what I'm waiting on :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
reason i dont add screenshots if i dont always test all my themes....i have others test it...gets tiring flashing my phone all the time, i think devs do some much flashing that sometimes we just gotta have someone test it for us...if you would like to send me screenshots to add to my OP ill be sure to credit you for that in the OP
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
TBH he posted the original link that had Screenshots in there.. Was just going to tell you about the dark text on black (its not true black on black as you can just read it), but I see you updated it, downloading it now..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboy15:
so my friend wants to trade his mytouch 4g to my nexus plus $75 on his hand do you guys think its a good trade?!?!?

thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalagony:
Nexus 1 maybe.......Nexus S no.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
Not a chance in hell. My brother has a mt4g and its nothing compared to the nexus s.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I honestly don't see anything wrong with that trade. I recently traded a 1 day old black and white myTouch 4g for my Nexus S. Both phones are great devices.

In my opinion the Nexus S is a little over hyped. There are two things that I find that makes the Nexus S a winner over the myTouch and that's the Samoled screen and Android updates.

Who really uses NFC? No external SD, no 720p, browser is kind of laggy while playing flash content, no 4g, 512mb of ram, no led (I am aware that there's an app that solves this issue)

I KNOW IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH I HATE THE NEXUS S, BUT TRUST ME I DONT. IF I DID ID EASILY SWITCH BACK TO THE MYTOUCH 4g.

I GUESS ITS ALL ABOUT USER PREFERENCE. THE NEXUS S WINS ME OVER BECAUSE OF THE SCREEN, ITS A VERY LIGHT FEELING DEVICE, CAPACITIVE BUTTONS AND THE UPDATES STRAIGHT FROM GOOGLE.

EDIT: IF YOU WANT ANDROID 2.3.3 YOU CAN EASILY ROOT AND TURN THE MYTOUCH 4G INTO A NEXUS S.

I HAD CM7 ON MY OLD MYTOUCH 4G AND IT RAN SMOOTHLY.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
Whoa man. Easy on the caps it's murder on the eyes. I wouldn't trade for a mt4g.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Sorry for the caps, but like I say its all about user preference. I always make decisions on a product by watching a few YouTube videos and by reading about it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamarama:
As in the little LED notification light that lets you know if you have an email, sms or something without having to turn on the screen.

Personally I haven't missed that feature at all ... my phone makes a noise when one arrives, and if I want to deal with it there and then then I will. If I forget then next time I unlock the phone there are notifications in the notifications tray.

Anyway, as poster said - there are apps that can give you that kind of functionality if you miss it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Thank you for answering the post. The NS isn't a bad phone like I say, also keep in fact that the mytouch 4g isn't a bad phone either. Its just as fast, and even faster when overclocked to 1.8ghz (although that doesn't matter since no one will keep the phone running at 1.8ghz for more than a few minutes to an hour or 2).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Just the name "MyTouch" and the ugly looks make it inferior to the NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayvo:
Maybe I'm reading this wrong....but are you saying that you're giving him a Nexus S PLUS $75 for a myTouch 4g?

If so, hell no! Maybe the other way around, but not a Nexus plus money for a freakin' myTouch.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
He's saying that he's getting $75 in the deal. I honestly don't know why everyone hates the myTouch so much. Lets be honest, what makes the Nexus S so much greater than the myTouch 4g? Is it the screen or the NFC chip? As far as software comes into play, the myTouch 4g can easily be installed with 2.3.3 and it works flawlessly. The myTouch 4g is slightly greater than the Nexus S if you guys take the time out to do some research.

EDIT: This is not meant to be a rant or meant to bash the Nexus S. I love my Nexus S. I'm just speaking fact.

i hooked my dads captivate up with root and firefly rom.

he is on vacation and took it to an att store because he stopped getting data signal in the middle of trip.

The guy commented on him already being updated to 2.2 and said he thought the sim had failed and stuck a 4g sim card in it. He said the guy didn't say anything about it being rooted or on a custom rom.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrillos27:
I've spent my entire day trying to flash a recovery image on my streak to no avail. I've rooted it using the super one click, have superuser on my device, along with clockworkmod.

I've confirmed my device is rooted using z4root.

I've tried flashing the recovery via clockwork, it says it was successful, yet when I reboot to recovery, I always end up in the regular OS, like all it did was reboot. Furthermore, trying to manually get there, holding down the buttons, tells me that the stanard recovery wasn't actually overwritten. When I go through fastboot and flash it that way, both computer and streak tell me that everything was successful. Yet, the recovery was still not overwritten.

My end goal is to put Steve's ROM on the streak, but I can't even get the recovery overwritten with clockworkmod.

I have a Dell Streak OEM:340. Thats the locked ATT version, which I think might be a part of the problem.

How do I end up with Steve's rom?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Sounds like you are using ROM manager? That does not work well with the Streak. See this article. ROM manager may actually flash your recovery, but does not work to start the phone in that mode.

You can flash the recovery image to your phone in fastboot mode. Here is a tool to help.

You get to fastboot mode by starting the Streak while holding the camera and power buttons at the same time. Then select fastboot from the top right of the screen and plug your phone into your computer. You will need the Dell drivers for this.

Also be aware that you need to rename install-recovery-sh to something else to prevent the stock recovery from being installed when the phone restarts. It's in the folder /etc. You have to use root explorer or an alternate method to do this, but it requires root.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrillos27:
I am using a ROM manger, but if that doesn't work as well, I'll stop.

I've been fastbooting it the majority of the time, flashing the ROM, but it says I've done it correctly, even though I obviously haven't. So far, all I know is that it's been rooted, and the recovery flashed via fastboot.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Have you renamed the install-recovery.sh file so that the custom recovery won't be replaced by the stock recovery when you reboot? If not - do so.

Make sure that the Streakdroid rom you want is in the root of the SD Card along with the install.txt file.

If you can get into fastboot mode and connect to your computer I suggest using MultiRecoveryFlasher Streakmod recovery. You can reboot the phone from there also.

When you reboot you want to get to recovery mode. Turn your phone off then press the power button tile the leds light up and as soon as they do hold down BOTH volume buttons. See this gallery for what Streammod recovery should look like. Selecting the #2 option will take you to the streakmod recovery options. You use the "apply sdcard:update.zip" to install the ROM.

See the release thread for the ROM you are installing for more info and post any problems or questions you have with the ROM in that thread.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrillos27:
I have not renamed the install-recovery.sh file. in fact, haven't seen one through the process. To be honest, I'm not sure this part has been done at all by me. How do I go about doing that?

Furthermore, choosing the second option in recovery doesn't give methe streakmod options, it just tells me everything will be erased (stock Dell recovery). How do I make sure that this gets corrected?

For the record, marvin02, thank you thus far for the amount of help you've been giving me.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
The file install-recovery.sh is a script that runs each time your phone is started. It will replace a custom recovery (streakmod) with the stock recovery when your phone starts, so the next time you enter recovery mode you are back at the stock recovery.

If you are going to dstay with a stock ROM, but want a custom recovery you have to rename the file. The easiest way (IMO) is to use Root Explorer which is an app you have to buy. You just open root explorer and the open the folder named etc and find install-recovery.sh long pres on it to get a menu to pop up and then select rename.

You don't have to do that to get a streakdroid rom installed if you enter recovery without letting the phone restart first.

Put the streakdroid rom file and the install.tx on the root of your SD card

Turn your phone off

Turn phone on in fastboot mode (camera and power buttons at the same time)

Use this tool to to flash the recovery you want

Using the same tool you can reboot the phone

As the phone reboots (wait for the leds to turn on just like they do when you restart the phone) hold down BOTH volume buttons to enter recovery. If you let the phone boot normally and you have not renamed install-recovery.sh the custom recovery will be over written.

Select option 2 and you should be taken to the streakmod options (images here)

Select apply sdcard:update.zip from the recovery menu

There will be two options on the next screen, select the one that lets you navigate to/select a file and then select the ROM file you put on your SD Card.

The ROM should install, be patient when it reboots it can take a few minutes.

I used HSPL4 and followed the directions very carefully. My MAGLDR still works fine. Its just the roms that won't start.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rikardo1979:
so if u have CWR/CWM - ClockWorkMod Recovery in your PC u can find the file name flash.cfg. So for some roms u need to edit this file before u flash CWR into your phone. If u need or not to edit this file u should find in your roms thread. U can edit it in any text editor. Also u need to check what CWR size u need for you rom cos u can have CWR in many sizes like from 150mb to 400mb

For example this is how CWR flash.cfg original file looks like

And here is modified 1 what is required for rom what I using

So u can see its different.

Hope this info helps u m8

[General Topics] Asovse1:
http://ashleyesqueda.com/private/HdniCFAkDv

What pisses me off as mentioned is the fact that you have to install a software update WITH the skin intact and updated as well. I don't like how this delays the time the update takes to get pushed, I don't like how this oftentimes turns me off from using the damn skin, and I most definitely don't like the fact that I have to install it to get perks. It's a trap!! The whole update BS is what drove me (and many others) to root their Legends in the first place. This is absolute crap!

And yeah, I'm against a locked bootloader as with everybody here on XDA. It's not just the custom skins being reverted to plain stock or similar, it's the extra "feel-good" things you can do with it unlocked.

Thoughts on the rant?

Google's in it to make money? What a shock(!)

They're a company, not a charity.
[General Topics] DPMAce:
Google is also about spreading it's monoply.

And they're better at it than At%t
[General Topics] Morder Chemiker:
Yeah Google is in it for money all company's are, money makes the world go around nowadays so that's what they do. As far as the ads part, that's how they make their money that's how they always have, but you don't see ads floating around when you use your phone just in apps that you download form the marketplace. However, the OS is open, like any other Linux base, allowing people to customize it and thus making Google sit back and see what devs can do with it and integrating what the devs are bringing to the table and seeing what people like (free user studys). Its genius on their part especially to push it to the masses that don't know what they're doing and have no idea what it even means when you say "root." I've always enjoyed Linux and its openness so I will continue to support Android.
[General Topics] synaesthetic:
Agree with rant.

Yeah, it's the nerds that want this, but the normals don't consider the why.

And the why is these devices are not phones.

They are tiny computers.

And it's pretty terrible that I can change the OS on my other, not-so-tiny computer whenever I want to, but I'm stuck with whatever the manufacturer of a given device forces upon me?

I'm not even sure I like the fact that my smartphone is limited to Android only.

I envision a day sometime in the future where smartphones are treated as tiny computers by everyone--including the manufacturers. Where you can buy barebones smartphones from the manufacturers without a preinstalled OS and pick your poison!

Of course Apple would never play ball with this--they don't even do so on their not-so-tiny computers--but wouldn't it be sweet to pick up the latest HTC superphone and then think to yourself...

... do I want Android, MeeGo, Windows Phone... or whatever other mobile OSes might exist at the time?

That's true openness now, but smartphones are in their infancy, and too many people still think of them as just very fancy phones.
